FinNews 0.5.1

Package for gathering financial news from various RSS feeds

FinNews

This is a package to help me with a personal project dealing with sentiment analysis and headline classification. The package has a lot of influence from the newscatcher package. While that package is great for getting general news, I need more financial related news that I wasn't getting.

This package is meant to get news from various RSS sources. Current RSS sources:

• CNBC

fn.CNBC(topics=['finance', 'earnings'], save_feeds=True)

• Seeking Alpha

# SeekingAlpha has support for RSS feeds by ticker, tickers can be passed as a topic and are denoted by $XXX
fn.SeekingAlpha(topics=['financial', '$AAPL'], save_feeds=True)

You can install this package using the repo link and pip:

$ pip install git+https://github.com/scaratozzolo/FinNews

Example usage:

import FinNews as fn

cnbc_feed = fn.CNBC(topics=['finance', 'earnings', 'business'])
print(cnbc_feed.get_news())
print(cnbc_feed.possible_topics())

Todo:

• CNBC
• Seeking Alpha
• investing.com
• WSJ
• Yahoo Finance
• Financial Times
• Fortune
